Artemi Panarin was locked in last night, opening the scoring only minutes in and adding three assists. Things have not always been smooth in the top six, but if they are finally turning a corner then it's the perfect time for the conglomerate of talent to finally click. It's been the missing link, as the bottom six has mainly been carrying the Rangers so far.
Safe to say the Rangers got their revenge with 6 goals while again holding the Penguins to just one goal. For those keeping track, that's just two goals allowed by Igor Shesterkin over the first three games. This time around it was the defense that shined, holding the Penguins to 19 shots on goal. A full team win up and down the lineup, despite the injuries to Vincent Trocheck and mid-game to Carson Soucy.
